hi all,

i'm using remoting to communication for IPC. basically, i have a vb.net exe app which manages the login process. this sits in the windows task bar and is the remoting server (using tcp). it is a winforms app as i need a login screen and a few other details to be served to client apps.

my client apps connect look for the server and fetch the details as required.

all this works except the following:

i would like the server to notify the clients when certain properties change. at the moment i have a time in the client forms which poll the server and get the data back.

i want to be able to handle events from the server when those values change and update the clients realtime. this is how i would do it for in-process apps.

unfortunately, having scoured numerous the book/resources i just cannot handle server events. i mainly get security and serialisation events.

has any one done something similiar and could you please provide some sample code in VB please?

oh - i gorgot to say, i only need the apps to communciate with each other on on the same machine and not over any networks.

many thanks in advance
